That's right, Beavie is actually contributing to a thread!
Partially as cover up for the Crown Jewel *censored* which I don't have any interest in watching right now, WWE has pushed the idea of an all Women's PPV forward, and while it'll be unfortunate if they likely push the "historic" and "ground-breaking" monikers too hard as they have done as of late, there is no denying that in the simple fact that it is happening is a big deal. WWE, don't *censored* it up. But so far the main roster's matches are alright, but not exactly the best in terms of match quality.
We have a Raw Women's Title match between Ronda Rousey and a part-time Nikki Bella who is perhaps not always known for being the greatest (although compared to how Brie's performed as of late, whatever). While Ronda has main-stream star power and is a natural performer, she needs to be lead a lot in matches especially since from what I hear, her matches are often very planned. And Nikki Bella, with all due respect to her, in 2018, I have no interest in seeing her wrestle. Expecting Ronda to win, but I'm not too interested.
Then, a tag team match with Alexa Bliss and Mickie James against Lita and Trist Stratus. Seems good on paper, but considering two of the girls in this match are retired and have barely wrestled over the past several years, I'm not expecting to be blown away. So this match is kinda a pass.
The main roster match I am most looking forward to, however, is the Last Women Standing match between everyone's favourite wrestler right now, Becky Lynch, and Charlotte Flair. They have the ability to put on great matches and if they let them loose, it can be brutal and intense along with being technically sound, but the big if is that rumours have it that Becky is working injured. If she isn't healed by then, this will affect how she at least performs.
So one match I have no interest in seeing, one which is kinda a "meh," and one really good. There are probably more to come, but what I am really interested in are the matches from NXT.
First, we have Kairi Sane against Shayna Baszler. They already had a solid match at the last NXT Takeover, and with Kairi being one of the best wrestlers on the Women's Roster and Shayna improving day by day and being kinda scary, I expect them to follow suit with having a good match.
Then, this match is the whole reason why I have a spoiler on this thread. It is from NXT UK:
I'm not the most familiar with them, but in general, I've been incredibly impressed with the UK scene as a whole. I think it'd be a great showcase for a country of great gals. But the one I am most looking forward to is...
The Mae Young Classic Two finals between Toni Storm and Io Shirai. I am familiar with Toni from my new interest in PROGRESS Wrestling in the UK, and from what I saw from the last Mae Young Classic and this year's, she can put on a great match and Io Shirai is talked about as one of, if not the, best women's wrestler in the world and from the bits I saw in the Mae Young Classic, I'm already impressed.
So really, this thread is to kind of show the potential that the NXT matches have on this show, and yes I count the Mae Young Classic as NXT since they all are signed to either NXT or NXT UK. The main roster is always hit and miss, but with NXT alongside the main roster, this may be NXT's chance to draw people from the casual audience in. We can be frustrated that Nikki Bella is main eventing. We may be frustrated if Becky ends up losing the title due to her injury or there is a wonky finish. I'm sure no matter what result of the tag team match, people will complain, either complaining if the retired wrestlers go over on women who wrestle full time, or if Alexa Bliss wins. But the NXT matches just seem like enjoyable matches which will draw me in if given enough time.
So, what do you guys think? Will the NXT and NXT UK matches outshine those of the main roster women or even the women of the past? Is the Future now? Or is the Beaver going crazy after seeing all those LOG memes?
